Multi-core or many-core platforms are motivated by applications that require high performance, low power, and software programmability. Many applications implemented on such platforms are safety- and some also time-critical. Classical WCET and response-time analyses for hard real-time systems are based on static methods. A critical issue is the reduced predictability of multi-core or many-core platforms resulting from the interference of different applications on shared resources.

This talk is based on the ACACES summer school’s topics of time-critical systems and it focuses on the impact of shared buses, caches, and other resources on response-time analyses.
